White people can be REALLY annoying when it comes to issues of race and even more so when it comes to Colin Kaepernick.

Alissa Perry, a math teacher at Port Charlotte High School in Florida, was captured in a viral Twitter video crying as she was forced to remove a kneeling Kaepernick art piece from the door of her classroom during Black History Month.

once again, racism being justified . one of the teachers at our school put up a Colin Kaepernick door peice FOR black history month, and the school claimed it was “offensive” and she was forced to take it down. pic.twitter.com/nX7XhpV0wE

According to WINKNews, Charlotte County School District says their front office was flooded with phone calls from angry white parents who found the image “offensive”. The infuriating part is that you KNOW these same people voted for Donald Trump who is a card-carrying racist and has been accused of sexual assault by NUMEROUS women.

“We were getting parents complaining and everybody, and we just thought we have to put an end to this,” said Mike Riley, Charlotte County School District spokesperson. “It was a lose, lose situation for us.”

No. No, no, no, no, no. It wasn’t a lose-lose. It was an opportunity to tell those stale soup cookies to STFU and mind their white a$$ business. These are the same white people who cherry-pick the parts of Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy that they find palpable but act oblivious to the fact that MLK clearly would have been in full support of Kaep’s form of protest.

Junior Jaidyn Etheart believes that social media played a big part in the caucasian outrage:

“I believe these boys from our school saw it, took a picture of it and put it on Snapchat, and said it was offensive,” Etheart said.

Dear @Nike, I am burning all Nike stuff that I own. The man you decided to make the face of your #JustDoIt campaign wore socks depicting police as pigs.Yet, you celebrate him. It is the police who #justdoit 24 hours/day-7 days/week protecting lives while risking their own lives.

Embarrassing...let's not forget this guy paid homage to one of the greatest human rights abusers in history Fidel Castro. But he wants to lecture the rest of us about how black people are treated? Bad movie @nikestore. I'll buy @PUMA or @adidas. There's my protest. https://t.co/Y9o2ct34la

The ethical move for Kaepernick would have been to say, "I didn't intend to be disrespectful, and I regret it was perceived that way. I'll protest in a different fashion." Not as profitable for him, though.

Colin Kaepernick forfeited his NFL career once he began kneeling in silent, peaceful protest ahead of games during the playing of the National Anthem becoming both hero and enemy in the nation. Two years out of playing the game he loves and fighting a mounting legal battle, Nike made the free agent quarter the face of its “Just Do It”30th-anniversary campaign.
A black-and-white photo of Kap zeroes in on his face with the caption “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything,” powerful in its simplicity and achieving the desired effect. Immediately, people who still foolishly regard Kap’s protest as a jab at the military instead of the what he’s said time and again is about the treatment of communities of colors at the hands of police and other race-related matters have gone full-on patriotic petty.
One man, donning Nike socks, cut off the swoosh on his footies just to prove whatever hare-brained point that was. And believe us, the hits keep coming.
We’ve collected a number of these idiotic responses to Nike’s stirring “Just Do It” ad campaign featuring Colin Kaepernick below.
